House Bill 1283 will make it a felony to openly carry a firearm (or any weapon) in a group.
This measure contains no exceptions for individuals who are defending themselves at home or on their own property.
Not even law enforcement, military, or those carrying firearms in an official capacity are exempted.
HB 1283 overreaches in its intent by causing those who are lawfully carrying a concealed firearm to be entrapped by a felony charge if the firearm accidentally becomes visible.
HB 1283 throws such a wide net that many law-abiding gun owners could potentially become felons if this measure is passed.

HR1283 is a clear violation of the Washington State Constitution -- The Declaration of Rights, article 1, Section 24, The Right to Bear Arms: "The right of the individual citizen to bear arms in defense of himself, or the state, shall not be impaired...." (Washington State Constitution)
It is suspicious that the legislators who composed this bill seeks to overthrow a right enumerated in our constitution without the required amendment to the constitution. Those House legislators probably should be charged with subversion, tried and removed from the legislature.
Those legislators are Senn, Valdez, Ramel, Bateman, Fitzgibbon, Berry, Peterson, Hackney, Thai, Kloba, Macri, Pollet, Stonier, Harris-Talley
